    I wonder if it is even theoretically possible for 2 very athletic adult men like the Paul brothers to win a fight like that. Is there any way for an unarmed human to kill a large brown bear?

      Short answer no. Long answer hell fucking no. You could put the top 10 heavyweights at the same time against that bear unarmed and they are getting mauled. I’ve seen a much smaller bear take a shotgun nearly point blank and keep moving. human fists are awful weapons to be honestly and pretty easy to break the bones in the hand punching stuff. They’re gonna be bear shit at end of it if they don’t get proper weapons bear-chill

        Someone needs to let those boys know that a lot of people on the internet think they’re a pair of pussies who couldn’t even beat one bear in a bare knuckle fight.

          A near 60 year old man with a lifetime of injuries from his sport, had a life threatening condition couple months before the fight… Will prepare them to fight a friend shaped engine of destruction

        I think 10 professional fighters could beat a bear. There would be casualties, but somebody would manage to claw its eyes out and then it would be a long, grinding battle of attrition as the remaining humans kicked the bear in the gut from unexpected angles

          I just don’t see it. The bears hide is way too tough and getting to its eye won’t be easy. Not to mention those things don’t get tired. They can run at really high speed non stop for a full minute. The explosive power it has one swipe and a fighter is down or incapacitated. And even if they do manage to hurt this thing there are fights where they continue after its had large chunks of it torn out against other bears. Ward it off… maybe but to the death bloodlust? A 1500 pound machine is too much

            Hmm, I didn’t realize they had that sort of stamina. I was sorta relyin’ on the MMA fighters to tire the bear out.

      People have beaten bears 1v1 with a stick. Maybe if the bear rips a limb off one of the humans then the other human can use it to beat the bear.
